You say that but women’s tennis didn’t exist until a woman beat all the men and won a tournament.
He did say "in most sports", not all. More specifically, sports where physical strength is an advantage (ie, weight lifting, rock climbing, football, soccer, wrestling, etc).
Women and men would be equal in sports like billiards, ping pong, badminton, gymnastics, ice skate, and even tennis.
Tennis?! Not even Serena Williams believes that:
Exception that proves the rule? That's pretty awesome though.
IDK, men already dominate so much of the world, why not make space for women's sports.
But imo it should be more like the weight classes in wrestling and less like the binary mens/women's thing with different rules.
Like why are men's and women's gymnastics so different. Why can't the person do the event they want to compete in?
That has always bothered me. I feel they should be doing The same activities.
That's not what happened.
